You can use a computer without a keyboard, but not vice versa. This is why hardware manufacturers designed wireless mice that run on Bluetooth and batteries. Undoubtedly, they are better than wired mice, but the troubleshooting methods are rather complex when a wireless mouse is not working, even when the light is turned on. In this article, we have compiled a list of different methods that can be used to fix various issues, such as the wireless mouse not turning on and more when working on Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Is My Wireless Mouse Not Working?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There can be multiple reasons why the wireless mouse is not detected or working on a laptop or desktop.

Wireless mice are delicate pieces of hardware compared to their wired counterparts. Check the outer body of the mouse to verify any physical damage and try to shake it. If you hear any noise of parts moving about, this mouse may be broken.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of minor physical damage, try connecting this mouse to a different PC to check if it works. If it does not, the chances of replacing the mouse increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you have a different wireless mouse, try using it on your PC. This will help identify if there is an internal problem within your PC. Move to the third step if the mouse works fine with another PC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 2: Replace The Batteries<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22413\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Replacing-Batteries.jpg\" alt=\"Replacing Batteries\" width=\"592\" height=\"444\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wireless mouse may not have a physical defect, but the batteries may have worn out. We recommend replacing the mouse batteries with fresh, new ones and then trying to connect the device to your PC. If your mouse works on a charge, we suggest you plug it in to charge for 30 minutes and then try again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 3: Ensure The Absence Of Any Metal Devices Nearby<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22415\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Computer-Devices.jpg\" alt=\"Computer Devices\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interference may arise from nearby metal devices, so relocate them or the system if they are too close to any TVs, phones, or speakers.

It may also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/usb-drive-not-showing-up\/\">not detect any external drive<\/a> you wish to plug in. In such cases, just remove the USB receiver from the current port and plug it into another port.
